Abscessualized acute salpingitis in a 43-year-old woman who previously underwent hysteroscopy. (a) Axial T1-weighted and (b) axial T2-weighted images show bilateral sac-like, cystic pelvic masses (white arrows) with an internal fluid-debris level. (c) Sagittal T2-weighted and (d) sagittal fat-suppressed T1-weighted images, show that the pelvis and lower abdominal quadrant are occupied by bulky cystic formations with fluid-corpusculated level content (white arrows), better appreciable on T2-weighted MR images. (e, f, g) Histological samples demonstrate the tubal origin of the lesion with broadened and blunted plicae. Numerous leukocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells are present in the mucosa (H&E 80X, 150X, 200X)
